Structure of anther:

A mature anther has generally two anther lobes and each anther lobe has two microsporangia or pollen sacs. Thus it is dithecus and tetrasporangiate. However in family Malvaceae, anther is monothecus, bisporangiate. An immature stage of anther is represented by group of parenchymatous tissue surrounded by single layered epidermis. The heterogenesity (differentiation) arises when some hypodermal cells get transformed into archesporial cells.

Walter Sutton along with Theodor Boveri (1903) studied the behaviour of Mendel’s factors (genes) and behaviour of chromosomes, at the time of meiosis. They concluded that the behaviour of genes and chromosomes is parallel. Since there are many characters (genes) while the number of chromosomes is limited, they concluded that each chromosome carries a large number of genes.

73 R Para 2one nucleosome ............ Non-bistane chromosomal proteins (NHC)

One nucleosome (Fig 4.5) approximately contains 200 base pair (bp) long DNA helix, of which about 146 bp long segment is wound around each octamer and the remaining bp contribute as linker DNA (Fig. 4.5) connecting two successive nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are stained body made of repeating units of chromatin. When observed under electron microscope these appear as ‘beads-on-string’ but actually represent ‘string-on-beads’ (Fig 4.6). DNA helix of 200 bps wraps around the octamer by 1¾ turns. Six such nucleosomes get coiled repeatedly and then form solenoid that looks like a coiled telephone wire (Fig 4.7). The chromatin is around 10 nm thick fibre packed to form a solenoid structure of 30 nm diameter (300A0). Further supercoiling of solenoid tends to form a looped structure that further coils and condenses at metaphase stage to form the chromosomes. The packaging of chromatin at higher levels, need additional set of proteins that are called Non-Histone Chromosomal proteins (NHC).
